Grateful

My card today is for this week's Off the Wall Craftiness challenge. As usual, Kim has a fabulous inspiration board picked out this week. I was immediately drawn to the piece of jewelry on the left and based my card on it.

DEEtails:

I loved the flower on the detailed metal and knew I wanted a flower on a pretty doily, so I pulled out my Martha Stewart doilies right away. I took some Chocolate Chip ink and swiped my doily onto my ink pad to get it nice and chocolaty brown. Then I pulled out some orange flowers that I had gotten a few days ago on the clearance rack at the craft store and stacked them together. I added a little orange brad from my stash. I matted some Naturals White card stock with some Old Olive and added a sentiment for PTI's Signature Greetings. I added some Old Olive Satin ribbon and voila! :)

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you're having a fabulous Saturday! :)

I reside in Maryland with my hubby and sweet Basset Hound, Molly. As a work-a-holic School Counselor, I rarely find time to create, but crafting is in my blood! I come from a family of crafty women and have been crafting inadvertently since I was about 2 years old. Between my mom, aunt, grandma and I, we paint, sew, scrapbook, do needle crafts, make jewelry, and more! This is my little space to share my hobbies with the world!
